My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Emma to prepare for the birth of our first baby. Emma’s classes were both informative and relaxing and we both feel so prepared for a peaceful, natural birth at home, thanks to our HyponoBirthing practice. If you’re interested in HypnoBirthing, I would highly recommend working with Emma.

I couldn’t thank Emma enough for teaching me and my husband the art of Hypnobirthing. Even though I ended up being induced I still used the the Hypnobirthing method and had an incredible natural birth. I couldn’t recommend Emma enough, thank you!

Emma has a warm and intuitive teaching style. She guided me through my pregnancy and helped me overcome my birthing fears and have the most empowering and rewarding birthing experience. I actually enjoyed it. For that I am hugely thankful.
Sarah, Berkhamsted
The environment was positive and welcoming. The hypnobirthing course was informative, educational and provided us with the tools to have at the birth. I feel more knowledgeable and confident and my partner is now more involved in the process. We feel excited for the birth

I just want to say a massive thank you, the hypnobirthing skills you taught us on the course were invaluable during the birth. It gave us so much confidence, the whole experience was calm, anxiety free and positive.
Jessica, Leighton Buzzard
The course was really informative and I learnt so much about birth that I never knew. It was lovely to discuss concerns and other ideas for birth with other couples. I feel a lot calmer and positive about giving birth and more confident that I can handle whatever happens during our birthing experience. I have enjoyed the relaxations so much. I am glad I have plenty of them to listen to before our birthing day.
Amelia, Leighton Buzzard
I did not have any type of pain relief at all and the sensations I had were completely bearable. Iain was also really great, he stayed in control and calm, did the soft touch massage and was generally very soothing. I put my amazing birth experience down to the hypnobirthing lessons and doing the relaxations and birthing affirmations (almost) daily, so thank you for teaching Iain and I the skills we needed to make that happen.
Penny, Rickmansworth
Just to say many thanks. Had it not been for hypnobirthing, I would have not survived! Our baby Eden was born 23rd December and using the hypnobirthing tools saved me! I got to full dilation within 3 hours of the first sign of labour and the breathing literally took the pain away like an anaesthetic would, I was surprised how powerful it was. I cannot emphasise enough the empowerment, confidence, vital knowledge and coping tools that I gained from hypnobirthing. I rarely recommend courses but this is a must for every woman. To be candid I would advise this course is taught to every mother-to-be as standard, simply to equip women with the physical, emotional/mental skills & techniques required to undergo the powerful experience of childbirth; and to access the inner strength required for such a feat!

Read more about Hypnobirthing, how it can help you, and how it works on our ‘What is Hypnobirthing’ page.
Hypnobirthing is an acquired skill, and its success depends on the amount of practice you put in during the course. The Hypnobirthing Institute found that 65-70% of hypnobirthing mothers didn’t need any pain relief. In addition to this, 69% of women I taught over a 2-year period, also didn’t need any form of pain relief during labour. The Institute also found that 20-25% required something mild, while 5-10% experienced ‘special circumstances’, where medical intervention was required. Some of my students who experienced special circumstances revealed that hypnobirthing still really helped when they were induced or needed a Caesarean. Read about individual birth-story experiences on my blog.
Mothers who birth without any drugs are usually freer to move than those who use epidurals. They are able to move without any restrictions during labour, which is advantageous to the babies. The birthing process is also much faster and easier, as they remain feeling connected to their bodies. Epidurals on the other hand usually prolong the time and increase the chances of other interventions. With hypnobirthing, you have the best opportunity for a drug-free birth as there will be less need for pain relief.
It is best to start the 4-week course between the 20th and 30th week of pregnancy. It is, however, not too late after 30 weeks so please do still get in touch. I have taught plenty of couples from 36 weeks.
Definitely! Self-hypnosis and deep relaxation are more effective when they are learned with enough practice time between the weekly classes for absolute success. The time frame of the 4-week course will enable you and your birth partner to be fully prepared, and relaxed on your birthing day.
Hypnobirthing is for anyone interested in being prepared and confident about birth. First-time mothers often look for ways to dispel any nerves, while mums on their second or successive pregnancies may want other approaches to childbirth if they had a difficult first experience, or want something different. Hypnobirthing skills are also beneficial for both home, hospital, or birth-centre births.
Hypnobirthing is about achieving a calm state of relaxation. It is simple to learn and easy to do. You are still fully aware of what is happening around you. Hypnobirthing is an acquired skill, learned and improved throughout the duration of the course.
The hypnobirthing course encompasses much more than simply learning the art of self-hypnosis, but is a whole philosophy and approach to pregnancy and childbirth. Also, the relaxation techniques are useful after the birth too, in helping you relax when you’re stressed in everyday life.
Hypnobirthing is very beneficial for your baby. Your baby feels everything you feel, which means your baby will feel relaxed when mum feels the same. Endorphins are released when your body is in a calm state during childbirth. They are also found in the placenta and umbilical cord. According to research, babies born naturally are more alert and more interested in breastfeeding behaviours like sucking and massaging the mother’s breasts.
